Important Consideration before Using Generic Viagra

Genericviagra is a prescribed oral medication for male impotence. This condition is medically known as erectile dysfunction (ED). The active ingredient of this drug is sildenafil citrate. It dilates blood vessels in the penis, thus allowing the inflow of blood needed for an erection.

Although this medication is meant to treat erectile dysfunction in men, it can’t be used in all men suffering from the same. There are several aspects that a man needs to consider before making use of it. These are as follows:

• A patient can’t be worthy to use this drug if he has the critical health problems, such as kidney problems (severe), diabetes, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, bleeding problems, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia (excess of lipids in the blood), hypertension (high blood pressure), low cup to disc ratio (“crowded disc”), arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), coronary artery disease, heart or blood disease, history of (within the last 6 months). Besides this drug should also be avoided in severe liver problems, leukemia; multiple myeloma (tumors of the bone marrow); or polycythemia, sickle cell disease, thrombocythemia (blood problems), deformed penis or history of priapism.
• Genericviagra should not be used in patients having any unusual or allergic reaction to sildenafil. Also tell your health care provider if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.
• The most important thing to know is that this drug is not meant for use in women. So no question arises whether to use it in pregnancy or not.
• Viagra doesn’t treat erectile dysfunction in women. It is not identified whether sildenafil excretes in breast milk. Women who take this medicine for pulmonary arterial hypertension and want to breast-feed should consult their doctor before breast feeding. The doctor may advise to stop breast feeding or the medicine.
• This medicine may be hazardous to use in elderly people. Because they are more likely to develop adverse reactions. People of 60 years of age and older who want to take this medicine for erectile dysfunction should start on a low dose, 25 mg, of sildenafil. Patients who are taking this medicine for pulmonary arterial hypertension may also need to a lower dose starting. Your doctor can only determine whether a high dose id essential for you.
• Genericviagra can be unsafe if used with certain drugs. If the patient has to take two different medicines, he should let the doctor know so that your doctor may change the dose, or advise other precautions necessary for you. Before using this drug it is especially important to tell your health care professional if you are using other impotence drugs, cimetidine (e.g., tagamet), mibefradil (e.g., posicor), ritonavir (e.g., norvir), erythromycin (e.g., e.e.s. or ery-tab), itraconazole (e.g., sporanox), and ketaconazole (e.g., nizoral). Viagra also should be avoided if you are taking bosentan (e.g., Tracleer), alpha-blockers (medicine for high blood pressure), and nitrates such as nitroglycerin (e.g., nitrostat or transderm-nitro). Saquinavir drug (e.g., Fortovase or Invirase) should also be avoided as these medicines may increase the unwanted effects of sildenafil, if lower starting dose of sildenafil is not used.
